“…Hypertension has been significantly associated with obesity 19 . In observational studies, people with hypertensions, pre-diabetics and diabetics have approximately twice the risk of cardiovascular disease in contrast to non-diabetic people with hypertension 20,21 . Hypertensive diabetic patients are also at increased risk for diabetes-specific complications including retinopathy and nephropathy 22 .…”

This study aims to assess the correlation of hypertension, diabetes, obesity with gender, smoking and physical activity in two hundred and fifty students of Ajman University in the United Arab Emirates. A structured questionnaire followed by a clinical examination performed for the two hundred and fifty students at Ajman University. Each student interviewed and assessed thoroughly. BMI was categorized into normal weight (< 25 kg/m 2), Overweight (25-29.9 kg/m 2) and Obese (≥ 30 kg/m 2); readings of systolic pressure of 140 mmHg or higher or diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg or higher considered hypertensive. Statistical analysis performed using SPSS, version 23.0 and data presented as means, standard deviation (SD) and percentages. The study indicated that 13.20 % of students have hypertension and 41.6 % are pre hypertensive. The mean systolic and diastolic pressure was 120.53 ± 14.29 and 76.19 ± 8.89 mm Hg respectively. The mean fasting plasma glucose concentration in students was 95.11 ± 18.53 mg/dl. Percentages of students with overweight and obesity were 22 % and 14.85 % respectively. The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and obesity amongst students of Ajman University was close to that observed amongst comparable age groups in the world and specifically the Arab region.

“…Another cross-sectional survey in Chinese rural residents (including 23,869 participants) demonstrated that the overall prevalence of chronic kidney disease in participants with diabetes was 35.5% [63]. Additionally, the high prevalence of abnormal kidney function among diabetic patients has been consistently reported in populations living in the United States [62], United Arab Emirates [64], Japan [65], Palestine [66], China [63, 67], Taiwan [68], and Europe [69–71]. Moreover, T2D probably predicts progression of chronic kidney disease, and the presence of diabetic kidney disease seems to be associated with poor cardiovascular risk profile, especially in elderly individuals [71, 72].…”

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an independent risk factor of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and T2D patients with AF-associated stroke seem to have worse clinical outcome and higher risk of unfavorable clinical course compared to individuals without this metabolic disorder. Long-term anticoagulation is indicated in majority of T2D patients with AF to prevent adverse AF-associated embolic events. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), direct oral thrombin inhibitor dabigatran, and direct oral factor Xa inhibitors, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban, have emerged as a preferred choice for long-term prevention of stroke in AF patients offering potent and predictable anticoagulation and a favorable pharmacology with low risk of interactions. This article reviews the current data regarding the use of DOACs in individuals with T2D and AF.

“…Diabetes mellitus (DM2) is the seventh cause of mortality among the Palestinian population, and according to the Palestinian bureau of statistics, 9.1% of the Palestinian people who are between the ages of 20–79 years have DM2 [ 14 ]. DM2 has many complications, including nephropathy, which happened at a rate as high as 34.6% among patients with DM2 in Palestine [ 15 ] with the risk of developing end-stage renal disease and consequent use of hemodialysis, for which there is a prevalence of 240.3 per million population [ 16 ] in the Palestine.…”

Introduction. The level of vitamin D status and its relationship to kidney function and liver function among patients with and without type 2 diabetes were not studied among Palestinian hemodialysis patients before. The aim of this study was to assess the status of vitamin D in hemodialysis patients with and without type 2 diabetes and its determinants. Methods. Data were collected on 163 patients on hemodialysis therapy in the Nephrology Department at Najah National University Hospital. Information on age, sex, plasma 25 (OH)D, serum calcium, serum phosphate, parathyroid hormone, dialysis period, hypertension, diabetes, ALT, AST, albumin, alkaline phosphates, and BMI was obtained from the medical records. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Findings. The mean level of 25 (OH)D was 17.3 ± 10.5 ng/ml. Only 12.9% of subjects had 25 (OH)D levels >30 ng/ml, whereas 65% had levels between 10 and 30 ng/ml; the remaining 22.1% were severely vitamin D deficient (<10 ng/ml). Vitamin D deficiency was more prevalent among females. It was not related to PTH, calcium, kidney, or liver function tests. Conclusion. Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among patients on hemodialysis with or without DM2.
